Hi Friedrich,
I have a webinstall compiled with 5.6.1666. This webupdate has moved
from SB5.0 beta so there may be something stuck in it<g>
In this install I have several Crystal Reports report files (.rpt)
that are distributed to several remote sites. I have two types of
report installs, one computer that get's all reports and then all the
other sites get some reports. I use a registry entry to determine
which is which and as far as I know that works fine.
I had all the .rpt files set up with "Check File (CRC)" replacement
option and this seemed to work. I recently sent out an update and
then realized that it appeared that _none_ of the .rpt files were
being updated. It's been several months since the last update I sent
out and as far as I know and can tell that update worked and updated
the .rpt files correctly. The dates of all the reports had changed
due to a problem I had with Kaspersky 5.0 and removal procedure for
that software and several of the reports had had minor changes to
them. However it appears that _none_ of them were updated on any of
the remote sites. Other files (exes and dlls) were updated correctly.
I'm going to distribute next update with the replacement option set to
"Always" to make sure that the reports are upto date.
I seem to recall that when I started with the webupdater it had
problems with the CRC option or maybe it was the "Check File
(Date/Time)" I don't remember. Do you have any thoughts on why it
would not update the files with the CRC checking enabled?
I'm going to be moving this to SB6 soon:)
